NEW, hi-res K1200S images

Wow, I can't believe it's really happening. BMW is actually making a SPORTS-tourer. Back when the rumors started flying, I thought they'd remain just that, rumors. At the time I didn't think BMW would be interested in pursuing an inline 4. I think this is the best thing BMW's done in a LONG time. I just hope they're dependable.
Couple of thoughts:
I think that exhaust looks WAY too big. Unbalances the whole right side of the bike. I think underseats will be pretty popular for this bike.
The flat black lower fairing looks funny in some of the pics. Makes it dissappear in the shadows. Have to reserve judgement on that one till I can see a bike in person.
Looks like those bags, although stylish, achieve that style at the cost of a few inches of useful cubic capacity. I'm sure our lane-splittin' friends in CA won't appreciate giving away 2"-3" in clearance for no appreciable gain in storage.

Woohoo, Cycle gear just called and my new Arai is in. Of to the store.
 
How Dey Do Dat?

Here ya go:

I can't look at my LT sideways without it falling off the side stand, but in about half of these pics, this new super Beemer can stand up on two wheels without any visible means of support at all! I want one!
 
Dude... ya gotsta put it in gear before you deploy the side stand!

I think the K1200S in the pictures has the new transparent aluminum center stand... :bliss
 
I love those yellow wheels and blacked out swingarm.
